Perfectly mediocre

Visited for the weekend, 2 adults and our teenage son. Friendly front desk staff and housekeepers. Fantastic location, especially for Stanley Park and waterfront access. Vibrant area with lots of restaurants, etc to choose from. Hotel was fine. Everything is dated and perfectly mediocre - it is a Best Western after all. Beds and bathroom were clean. Room had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker - what more do you need for a quick trip to Vancouver. Decent parking, especially for in the city.

It was adequate. Reasonably priced parking for the area. Hotel is old and run down. Definitely lipstick on a pig situation. It was a fireworks night so it was hugely inflated for price but convenient. Would I stay here again? Probably not.
